She was different: she spent time going over all details of my treatment. Patiently explained all options and alternatives and the treatment cost. I felt comfortable following her advice. I had an procedure (involving some implants and crowns) done months ago and I am happy with the results.

Been searching for a good Dentist in my new neighborhood for a while. After having done much…read moreresearch and comparison, I found Dr. Maureen Lam and her office, and decided to go there. Everything works out perfectly, the office was very organized and brightly clean, and the equipment are modern and well-kept. I went there for a filling for two of my cavities. One was an older one with previous fill-in already fallen off, and was deeper and bigger than other. My previous dentist didnt do a good job, because it fell off only after 2 yrs of use. So, this time, I made sure I need to find a good doctor. I guess Dr. Lam is just that! She finished the entire procedure painlessly and meticulously(as compared to my previous dentist). I am very content with my visit, and will highly recommend Dr. Lam to all my friends. [Date of Visit: March 2018]

I am thinking about switching doctors and leaving this clinic after 15+ years of being a loyal…read morepatient. In the past 6 times where I had my teeth cleaned, the hygienist is always someone new. In the last 3 times, I had the hygienist digging into my gums trying purposely to make me bleed and then blame me for sensitive gums. The gouges they leave in the teeth afterward makes it easy for food to get stuck in even weeks after the cleaning. The first time; I had scratches in my teeth from the tools use that I can still visibly feel with my tongue (I suspect one of which has been there since 2023) . The second time, the gum lining never grew back, and I developed 4 new gum holes where I need to floss extra hard every time because it became that much wider after a teeth cleaning. And the 3rd time, I am convinced they are trying to make me bleed ON PURPOSE. In a gum testing, one blonde hygienist managed to get all 28 teeth bleeding by purposing digging at my gums from front to back with a metal tool and then record it on file, citing that I have inflammation and therefore bleeds, always. Mind you, that's never been the case at home. I also don't happen to brush my teeth with metal, so professionals should bear that in mind when you DIG my gums. I was told by the doctor that I need no less than $2800 for X-ray, deep clean, laser, arestin (11 antibiotic needles inserted between my gums) to get full care. They ask for me to pay out of pocket. I do not think I will be coming back for the 15th year.... Same doctor, different practice. It has changed a lot since my childhood. Very sad. I feel I will take my damaged mouth elsewhere to look for a cure.

This review is for the Pediatric Dentistry of Flushing at 135-14 Jewel Avenue. Our visit was in…read moreApril 2026. It is genuinely hard to put into words the disbelief I felt during our visit to this practice. While we chose this office because they accept 1199SEIU insurance, the experience was a profound disappointment. As a healthcare worker myself, I hold medical environments to a high standard of safety and professionalism, and what we encountered fell dangerously short of that. The issues first began at the entrance, which is cramped and ill-equipped for anyone with a stroller, requiring a difficult maneuver through two doors with almost no clearance. Ironically the practice sent an excessive number of automated reminders strictly demanding that we check in early and not be late, yet we weren't seen until 30 minutes after our scheduled time. The atmosphere of the office is notably non-secular; with multiple Torahs displayed on a console table in the waiting room, it appears the practice specifically caters to the local Jewish population. The environment felt quite chaotic, with large groups of children from other families wandering in and out of the exam hallways unchecked. The space itself is essentially one long hallway lined with plastic chairs, not at all warm or inviting for children, with no toys provided. A television mounted in the corner with a poor-quality screen was the only thing available to keep our son occupied. When we were finally called back, I was met with absolute shock. We were led into an exam room that was an active construction site, featuring exposed raw drywall, cement boards underfoot, metal mesh on the floor, and a tarp in the corner covering debris. There wasn't even a door or a curtain for basic privacy. From a clinical standpoint, this is an unacceptable infectious and respiratory hazard. Raw drywall and construction dust are not sanitary environments for dental work, where microscopic bacteria are regularly aerosolized. As someone with a sensitive respiratory system, the dust in the air caused me immediate distress. We couldn't even allow our toddler to move around because the flooring was so unsteady and dangerous. Not to mention a ginormous exposed crack in the wall that spanned from floor to ceiling. What I find most disappointing was the total lack of transparency. Not once did a staff member acknowledge the state of the room, offer an apology for the conditions, or even provide a mask for the dust. The lack of basic decency to acknowledge these conditions speaks volumes about the practice's priorities. It's clear they would rather maximize profit by seeing patients in a literal construction zone than close the room until it is safe and sterile. They couldn't wait until the room's walls and floors were at least finished? Absolutely ridiculous. While the hygienist was pleasant enough and successfully cleaned our son's teeth, the doctor's approach was frustrating. We specifically requested Dr. Kim over the phone based on her glowing reviews but were given Dr. Weinberg with no communication. She spent less than 5 minutes with us and relied on forced familiarity, using a patronizing nickname for our son rather than his actual name. This attempt to appear approachable felt like a performative tactic intended to ignore the hazard we were sitting in, and it completely failed to soothe our distressed toddler. What should have been a positive first dental milestone for our son was instead a stressful, unpleasant, and unsanitary experience. We drove a long way to come here because they accepted our insurance, but we are now looking for a new dentist. I would rather pay out-of-pocket than return to a practice that views these conditions as acceptable for patient care. It is utterly disrespectful and shows no care for human health and safety which should be paramount as a pediatric dental practice. Subjecting children as young as 12 months old, toddlers under the age of two, to these types of conditions is absolutely indefensible.

My daughter (4 years old) came here for a cavity filling. I think I was more nervous than her!!…read moreThe dentist Dr. Kim was so friendly, and wasnt scary at all. My daughter didnt even know she got a shot in her mouth. The dentist was so fast and good that I didnt even know the shot was given. They are prepared with a phone for the little ones to watch a show and be distracted and it really does work. My daughter was in and out in probably 15 minutes. The only part I didnt like is that there are no small sinks by the patients' chair so they can rinse and spit. There is a communal sink however that i believe is shared for every 2 rooms. Overall, a good experience.
